YogaBreathePray
Yoga, breath, prayer - these three things have the ability to heal our wounds, ground our spirit, and deepen our connections to ourselves, our God and our world. Frequent pauses devoted to mindfully integrating the body and mind, to realize the significance, compassion and sustenance hidden gently within our breath, and to realize the magnificence of the reality that we are held, known and surrounded by a Great Love has the ability to change our hearts, our minds, our muscle memory and in time the entire life we live. Join me in continual process of coming to know the safety, love, and grace already present in the life and body we live within. Grace, peace & hope, Rachel

Giving ourselves a moment to breathe and fully bring to mind the rest, grounded feeling, openness or whatever we love from a time of vacation or a long weekend we are more readily able to bring that same feeling into our day to day lives. Stress will come. We are human. But if we practice the rest we long for, we are more able to find that same experience in our every day lives. May this practice help us all bring a little more vacation, sabbath and rest into our heart spaces always.
Grace, Peace & Namaste.

Our thoughts and our feelings are always passing. There's also this deeper, continual, beyond part of us that always remains, that is always steady, always us. Emotional clarity is a gift, but it comes with practice. Anytime you feel overwhelmed or caught up in emotion, take a moment to pause, notice and remember from that deeper truer space within steady and grounded in God's loving presence.
Thanks for listening and caring for your soul.
Grace & peace & Namaste.

Mindfulness and the way we are wired reveals that if we take moments out of our days to practices envisioning and embodying the traits we desire to have more of in life, we actually can cultivate more of them. This one we take a moment to pause. To bring to mind and into our muscle what Love feels like, what being loved feels like, what being loving feels like. Soak it in. And may you begin to bring it to heart and mind a little more readily with each and every practice.
Grace & peace.

We are and will be loved forever. Before we were taught any different, that's our truth. May we take a moment, as often as we need, to pause, to loosen what gets tight, and remember we are OK. We can rest in the trust and truth that no matter what, we are and will forever be loved.
Grace, Peace & Namaste.

We can get caught in the spiral of needing to get so much done we forget that we will be OK even when we don't.
We all need balance in life. Moments to breathe. We need to remember that no matter what we get done or don't get done, God will still love us, still carry us through. Life will go on, good will come out of everything, and we will never loose our first truth - that we are loved. Always.
Grace, Peace & Namaste.

This meditation has been changing my life lately. After listening to a Steve Wiens podcast episode where he talks about a practice of starting each morning with 10 mins breathing into the phrase "My abba loves me" I have been breathing my own phrase daily. Breathing in "My God" breathing out "loves me". And it has been changing me. This week, when tension arises in your life, may you breathe and may you remember your God loves you. You are loved.

Let's take a moment to dwell in some truths we already know from scripture but often don't go about our lives feeling/sensing/experiencing. In time, with practice, this can deepen your physical feelings of trusting the truths that you are wonderfully made and loved by God. Always.
Namaste.

Sometimes all we need is to stop, to get ourselves out of our moment, out of our swirling thoughts or feelings, and rest, reminding our souls that the world will be cared for even if we let go and allow ourselves to rest. May this bring greater peace, clarity, and lightness back into the moments we are all in.
Grace & Peace friends.
